It’s funny what a few no-hitters do for a body.

Paige’s line is a dry, self-aware joke about how athletic achievement can transform not only public perception but also one’s own sense of vitality. “A few no-hitters” stands in for peak performance and the aura it creates—suddenly the body feels younger, stronger, more capable, as if success itself were restorative medicine. The humor also hints at Paige’s long career and the way pitchers, especially aging ones, are constantly measured against decline; a dominant outing can temporarily erase that narrative. Beneath the quip is a broader observation about confidence and reputation: excellence changes how others treat you and how you inhabit your own body.
